  • Conflicting Messages From Weak and Strong Sustainability Metrics

    Open AccessArkaitz Usubiaga‐Liaño, Miroslav Syrovátka et al.ARTICLESustainable Development2026Referencias: 9

    Weak and strong sustainability represent two opposing ways of understanding sustainability. This is reflected in the metrics used to monitor both types of sustainability, where the former favours monetary aggregates of manufactured, human, and natural capital, while the latter favours biophysical indicators. A comparison of the outcomes of weak and strong sustainability metrics leads to conflicting messages between the two paradigms when assessin…

  • Monitoring environmental sustainability in Japan

    Open AccessMasahiro Sato, Arkaitz Usubiaga‐Liaño et al.ARTICLESustainability Science2024Citada por: 1Referencias: 2

    This paper assesses the environmental sustainability of Japan by applying the environmental sustainability gap (ESGAP) framework, which builds on the concepts of strong sustainability, critical natural capital, environmental functions, and science-based reference values. The assessment is carried out using two indices of environmental sustainability (Strong Environmental Sustainability Index (SESI) and Strong Environmental Sustainability Progress…

  • Methodological choices for reflecting strong sustainability in composite indices

    Open AccessArkaitz Usubiaga‐Liaño, Arkaitz Usubiaga-Liaño et al.ARTICLEEcological Economics2024Citada por: 7Referencias: 4

    Composite indicators are widely used to represent sustainability or its underlying dimensions. Nonetheless, an alignment between the multiple choices made during their construction and the underlying conceptual framework is often lacking. This reduces the relevance of the composite indicator. This paper provides an overview of the theoretical implications of the choices made during the construction of strong sustainability indices, particularly f…

  • Quantifying Earth system interactions for sustainable food production via expert elicitation

    Open AccessAnna Chrysafi, Vili Virkki et al.ARTICLENature Sustainability2022Citada por: 1Referencias: 9

    Several safe boundaries of critical Earth system processes have already been crossed due to human perturbations; not accounting for their interactions may further narrow the safe operating space for humanity. Using expert knowledge elicitation, we explored interactions among seven variables representing Earth system processes relevant to food production, identifying many interactions little explored in Earth system literature. We found that green…

  • Energy use in the global food system

    Open AccessArkaitz Usubiaga‐Liaño, Paul Behrens et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2020

    The global food system is a major energy user and a relevant contributor to climate change. To date, the literature on the energy profile of food systems addresses individual countries and/or food products, and therefore a comparable assessment across regions is still missing. This paper uses a global multi‐regional environmentally extended input–output database in combination with newly constructed net energy‐use accounts to provide a production…

  • Exiobase 3

    Open AccessKonstantin Stadler, Richard Wood et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2018

    Environmentally extended multiregional input‐output (EE MRIO) tables have emerged as a key framework to provide a comprehensive description of the global economy and analyze its effects on the environment. Of the available EE MRIO databases, EXIOBASE stands out as a database compatible with the System of Environmental‐Economic Accounting (SEEA) with a high sectorial detail matched with multiple social and environmental satellite accounts. In this…

  • Wasting Food, Wasting Resources

    Open AccessArkaitz Usubiaga‐Liaño, Isabela Butnar et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2018

    Food is needed to maintain our physical integrity and therefore meets a most basic human need. The food sector got in the focus of environmental policy, because of its environmental implications and its inefficiency in terms of the amount of food lost along the value chain. The European Commission (EC) flagged the food waste issue a few years ago and adopted since then a series of policies that partially address the problem. Among these, the Reso…

  • Global Sustainability Accounting—Developing Exiobase for Multi-Regional Footprint Analysis

    Open AccessRichard Wood, Konstantin Stadler et al.ARTICLESustainability2014

    Measuring progress towards sustainable development requires appropriate frameworks and databases. The System of Environmental-Economic Accounts (SEEA) is undergoing continuous refinement with these objectives in mind. In SEEA, there is a need for databases to encompass the global dimension of societal metabolism. In this paper, we focus on the latest effort to construct a global multi-regional input−output database (EXIOBASE) with a focus on envi…
